SLCFs are substances in the atmosphere that contribute to global warming and have relatively short lifetimes in the atmosphere. The focus is on three SLCFs – black carbon, tropospheric ozone and methane – because reducing them will provide significant benefits through improved air quality and a slowing of near-term climate change. Authors United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Tags Pollutants (SLCPs) Black carbon Methane Tropospheric ozone Regions Global Related partners United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Similar resources Guidelines & Tools 2023 Hoja de Ruta Integrada Integrada en Calidad del Aire, Mitigación de Contaminantes Climáticos de Vida Corta y Salud para la Región Centroamericana y República Dominicana Guidelines & Tools 2023 National Methane Roadmap Template Workbook Guidelines & Tools 2023 Introductory Framework for Measurement, Reporting, and Verification for Clean Cooking Energy Initiatives Guidelines & Tools 2023 National Methane Roadmap Template
